FAQ thanks to BG

Question Answer
1. Is Boost operated by Telstra network? Yes, on the full Telstra network
2. Does Boost support 5G? Yes, for all Boost prepaid customers and it is currently on trial until 3 April 2023
From 4 April 2023, 5G network access will be included as standard on your service and we’ll be introducing capped download speed caps on our 4G and 5G networks
3. Does Boost support e-SIM? Sadly not at this stage. However there are plans to do so
4. Do you have to activate the SIM within 30 days? Every Cashrewards Boost cashback up to and including Dec 31 has been approved (confirmed by TA) - provided you activated within 30 days of order
5. How long is the SIM expiry? Usually 1 year, but to qualify for cashback the SIM must be activated within 30 days of ordering
6. It is showing “new customer” on Boost website. What does this mean? New customer term is only for the additional Boost data, and nothing to do with the cashback offer
7. Can I receive international text message (aka int. roaming) with this SIM by default? Yes, you can receive SMS while overseas, but can’t send outgoing to Australia
8. How long does it take to receive the SIM? According to the Boost Rep: Once dispatched, you should receive your order within the following business days: Metro Areas – 2-5 business days for capital cities – Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, Darwin, Hobart & Brisbane (order before 4pm). Non Metro or Regional / remote areas – 3-7 business days
9. Is porting in a Telstra number to Boost considered a "new customer"? From Boost Mobile rep via dm: Porting a number from Telstra to Boost is definitely considered a new customer
10. Are you able to purchase multiple plans using different names / ID (or can I purchase 4 x plans for the family using my own details)? From Boost Mobile rep via dm: Received clarification from the team and this is a tricky one since for compliance the terms is showing the customer is only allowed 1 sim per transaction but he can buy multiple SIMs and then activate them all under his name and he will then be able to manage all the numbers when he logs into the App with his Boost ID.
11. Information on what to do when the "please try again later" message comes up List of indicators that can affect how your order is flagged in different financial systems, which can hopefully help you understand what is going wrong
12. Can this be used to recharge? No, this is a starter pack.

Enjoy!

    If you get 100 of these, does that mean you can gain $500?

    • Paul B on 28/03/2023 - 14:08

      Doubt that activation will work in 30 days with the same ID, unless you start a pyramid scheme for other people to activate

    • Neoika on 28/03/2023 - 17:47

      I think Boost Mobile is in a far better position than CR.

    Has anyone else got a problem activating the SIM? After inputting the Sim serial number onto the activate website and putting in all my details, I get a ‘Something went wrong’ page. This is frustrating as I have my last 3 SIMs all encounter this problem when trying to activate.

    • Dizz on 28/03/2023 - 14:05

      Had the same issue trying to activate this morning. Assumed it was because I was coming from Telstra. Got two sims sorted through online chat - took a bit longer, but wasn't too painful.

      • Wolfhound on 28/03/2023 - 14:39

        thanks. it worked after i talked to them on live chat. they said it was a ‘minor system issue’, just an added hassle tho, wish it gets fixed soon

          Often logging into your account and activating sim through there instead of website allows you to bypass this problem.

          • tunzafun001 on 28/03/2023 - 19:48

            @Royale with cheese: How do you get an account? I had to activate via chat. So no account setup involved.

            • Royale with cheese on 28/03/2023 - 19:49

              @tunzafun001: Ummm i thought it automatically creates your account where you can check usage etc at first sign up

              • tunzafun001 on 28/03/2023 - 19:53

                @Royale with cheese: An account..with no login details? I literally called up and said your website keeps crashing (tried over 3 days). They took my details (i didnt give an email) and the port was done. Maybe no email means no account.

                P.S.Couldnt activate in 30 days. Phone support did it on day 32. Cashback still tracked. But i took a heap of screenshots just in case

            • Techefy on 02/04/2023 - 15:45

              @bonezAU: Does adding the new number to an already available boost account invalidate the cashback? I had to go through the live chat to activate and I already have another boost connection.

              • wavesgreen on 02/04/2023 - 18:36

                @Techefy: The only requirement for the cashback is that you activate the sim within the required time.

                So far as being a "new customer" it's only bonuses in the T&C's of the deal that might be validated. e.g. extra data.

    • MR-AM on 28/03/2023 - 14:26

      The same thing happened just now, I just called them up and got it activated. It’s my 2nd one in a week.

    • hamza23 on 28/03/2023 - 14:34

      I had that just before, I managed to get around it by starting the process again but not signing in (still using all the same details though).

      Your service is being activated
      This can take up to 4 hours but most customers are up and running much sooner. You’ll receive an email when it’s ready to use.

      If you haven’t already, insert your Boost SIM now.

      • Wolfhound on 28/03/2023 - 14:39

        i tried doing that before, it didnt work though, guess it depends sometimes :/

      It's apparently because you already have an account with your details.

    • Rodo on 28/03/2023 - 23:17

    Still keeps saying "Sorry, we are unable process your order. Please try again later."

    Even though I ordered none since the last $5.33 something like that deal. Do they have an undisclosed limit of 5 orders in a month or like that ?

  • Drpepper666 on 28/03/2023 - 14:30

    It's still better to get the 200$ 365 sim right ?

    • WatchNerd on 28/03/2023 - 14:50

      This sim lasts 28 days & you make $5.00 profit.

  • xdirex on 28/03/2023 - 16:48

    I activated one but the SIM was dodgy (tried in a few devices). Ask for another or just wait and don’t disrupt the cash back (I already have another SIM or two)?

    • [Deactivated] on 28/03/2023 - 19:16

      Well if you're taking a new number each SIM (not porting a permanent number out then in again the same day), and can order another SIM with a new phone number, why not? Then you can just let the first one expire without using it, no way the cashback is going to be mucked up. Some people seem to be having difficulty ordering without calling them, if they're already been a Boost customer before though.

  • Gorodemon on 28/03/2023 - 17:52

    How long do I have to keep the number active with Boost in order for my cashback to be confirmed?

    • tharlow on 28/03/2023 - 18:32

      If they catch wind that you’re going to ditch them, a small group of elite “technicians” break your door down to get their money back. But don’t worry — just keep calm, follow all instructions, and nobody needs to get hurt

        I think he means what happens if for example he uses all the data in 24 hours and ports out again before the tracking "takes." But I don't think the tracking would be affected because the cashrewards clickthru still happened, the purchase was valid, and payment will still be made by the bank… But… ?

        • tharlow on 28/03/2023 - 20:01

          You can try to use the 45GB in 24 hours, and then skip the country, but they will find you. And when they inevitably catch up with you, you’ll have a lot of explaining to do…

            @tharlow:

            but they will find you

            Not if you use a different passport / ID when you re-enter.

        • Gorodemon on 28/03/2023 - 21:11

          Yes, thank you for clarifying my question. It's simply because Cash Rewards T&C says: estimated approval up to 95 days.

          Does it mean that I have to keep my number with Boost while waiting for my cashback to be confirmed, which could take as long as 95 days?

          There are heaps of great deal on mobile plan out there and I don't see myself staying with the same provider for long unless there's an incentive to do so.

          • billsa on 28/03/2023 - 21:32

            @Gorodemon: no, you just have to activate the sim

          • [Deactivated] on 28/03/2023 - 22:52
            +1

            @Gorodemon: Nah as billsa said… You make the purchase, they get their money, it's prepaid for 28 days and not a tangible product like books or shoes from Amazon you could return for a refund - so the transaction stays "completed" as far as Boost and CR are concerned. It would be different if it was a 12/24 month contract and you ported away 6 months in meaning they'd lose out $$$.

            Just be sure and follow the instructions so it tracks. Like turning off other programs and all other browser plugins if on a computer, refresh the browser, click the CR "Go to Deal" button, login if you're not already, make the purchase, pay, and activate SIM in the required time, and after a couple of days check it has tracked in your CR history.

          Faith they'll come through, yes. No doubt.

          But the added hassle of waiting a week and having to write up a missing cashback claim makes it pretty annoying.

          And after a couple of times I'm sure I'll forget one.

          There's clearly issues that need to be worked through - given there's long term CR / other cashback users that 'know what they're doing'

              If my memory serves me right, this is not the first time this has happened with Boost on iOS. This time, apart from orders not tracking, I wasn’t able to put through subsequent orders (getting error messages after payment page).

    Just wondering what happens to cashback when we receive a faulty sim and the rep advise us to get a $2 sim for replacment

    • mysterytal on 03/04/2023 - 09:24

      I'm wondering about that as well. Lots of issues last week and we were advised to buy a SIM too. I have activated the service within the 30 day time frame but it was the $2 SIM from the supermarket not the one received in the post.

      We got 70GB of data but as I needed data I had to activate another SIM in the meantime so now I've got 115GB of data to use within the next 4 weeks. More than enough data as we generally use 3GB per day.

      • Neoika on 03/04/2023 - 10:00
        +1

        It doesn't affect cashback approval. To avoid porting a number to a faulty SIM, test the SIM signal before activation. A faulty one can't be detected.

        • USER DC on 06/04/2023 - 17:07

          Had this exact issue myself with Kogan sim last time I bought their sim.

          it showed sim card empty and I was worried my phone became faulty or something, then Kogan said it will work after activation, But I guess you are more correct here. Faulty sims in fact actually dont show any signal at all both before and after activation.
          So if sim we get has no signal then I guess DO NOT ACTIVATE IT, instead start Karen @ sim provider that sim is FAULTY and not be like me, and agree with agent that we need to activate sim first to see if it is faulty or not.

  • povertytrap on 03/04/2023 - 22:52

    I keep getting “we are unable to process at this time, please try again later”. Does anyone know how to get around this which happens at the activation stage? I have tried different types of ID, email addresses, browsers etc - no luck.
